What is Curious Aquarian?
Curious Aquarian is a small jewelry brand inspired by creativity, symbolism, nature, mythology, and a touch of the unexpected. Each piece is designed to feel distinctive—something you can wear as an expression of your own personality rather than simply another accessory.
Is your jewelry handmade?
Yes. Curious Aquarian jewelry is designed and assembled by hand. Each piece is one of a kind.
Where does the inspiration for your jewelry come from?
Inspiration comes from many places: celestial imagery, folklore, ancient symbols, natural forms, art, history, color, and beautiful or unusual beads and charms.
Sometimes a design begins with a particular pendant or stone; other times it starts with a mood, story, or color combination.
Will my necklace look exactly like the photographs?
I make every effort to photograph each piece accurately and show its colors, textures, and details clearly. Colors can also appear somewhat different depending on your screen.
What materials do you use?
Materials vary by design and may include gemstone beads, glass beads, seed beads, charms, pendants, chains, crystals, and a variety of metal components.
Material information is included in individual product descriptions whenever possible. If you have a question about a particular piece, feel free to ask before purchasing.
How do I choose the right necklace length?
The approximate length of each necklace is included in its product description.
Because necklace length can look different depending on the wearer, one of the easiest ways to judge fit is to measure a necklace you already own and like.
Do you make custom pieces?
I do not offer custom pieces at this timw.
How should I care for my jewelry?
Treat your jewelry gently and it should remain beautiful for years.
Avoid exposing it to water, perfume, hairspray, lotions, household chemicals, and excessive moisture. Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, sleeping, or exercising.
Store your pieces somewhere dry and protected when you aren’t wearing them. A soft cloth can be used to gently wipe away oils or fingerprints.
Will the metal change color over time?
Some metals naturally darken, develop a patina, or change slightly with age and wear. Skin oils, humidity, perfumes, and other environmental factors can influence this process.
Keeping jewelry dry and storing it carefully will help preserve its appearance.
Is your jewelry suitable for sensitive skin?
Metal sensitivities vary considerably from person to person. Unless a piece is specifically described as hypoallergenic, nickel-free, sterling silver, or another particular metal, I cannot guarantee that it will be suitable for someone with a metal allergy or sensitivity.
What if my order arrives damaged?
If your jewelry arrives damaged or you receive the wrong item, please contact me as soon as possible with your order information and photographs of the item and packaging.
I’ll work with you to resolve the issue.
How quickly will my order ship?
Ready-to-ship jewelry is generally mailed within 3 business days.
Do you accept returns?
Returns are accepted according to the Curious Aquarian return policy.
Why the name Curious Aquarian?
Curious Aquarian reflects the spirit behind the jewelry: curiosity, individuality, imagination, and an appreciation for things that are a little unconventional.
The goal is to create jewelry for people who enjoy discovering unusual details, meaningful symbols, unexpected combinations, and pieces that feel distinctly their own.
